## What is Screen Time Control?

Stop doomscrolling. Earn your screen time instead.

Burn turns your to-do list into screen time. Get things done, earn logs, and feed them to Burn, a little flame who lives on your phone. Scroll too much and Burn's fuel runs out, and so do your distracting apps.

No willpower required. Just a flame worth keeping lit.

HOW IT WORKS
• Start each day with a screen time budget you choose
• Scrolling the apps you pick burns through it, minute by minute
• Hit zero and those apps lock
• Finish tasks to earn logs
• Feed logs to Burn: every log buys 10 more minutes

GET STUFF DONE
• Give every task its own log reward, so big jobs pay more
• Daily, weekday, or custom repeating tasks for your habits
• Plan Today, Tomorrow, and the days ahead
• Sort tasks into color-coded categories
• Shake to undo if you tap too soon

A FLAME WORTH KEEPING LIT
• Burn reacts to your day: happy when you're on track, worried when time runs low, out cold when it's gone
• Tap, pet, and drag logs in to feed him
• Dozes off at night with a sleepy face
• Keep Burn lit at midnight to build your streak

YOU'RE IN CONTROL
• Choose exactly which apps and categories burn fuel
• Everything else stays open
• Set your own daily budget
• No account, no sign-in, no ads.

BURN+ (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)
• 13 flame colors, each with a matching app icon
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, including a task list you can check off without opening the app
• Live Activity: watch your fuel count down in the Dynamic Island

• Screen Time Insights: see which apps ate your time, by day, week, and month

Burn uses Apple's Screen Time to track and limit only the apps you choose. What you do in them never leaves your device.
